1681 State of LONDON & Westminster England Crouch Burton Arms Charles I Venner

 

Nathaniel Crouch was an iconic 17^th-century English publisher and author. Crouch published his works under a pseudonym, often Richard or Robert Burton, as is the case with this 1681 treatise, “Historical Remarques and Observations of the Present State of London and Westminster”. As the title suggests, this book covers the establishment and building of churches and towers, the present state of palaces and cathedrals, accounts of plagues, wars leading up to 1681, and the political climate in London.

 

This book contains reports of some of the most important events such as the execution of Charles I, Thomas Venner’s insurrection, disappearance of Edward V, and many more!

 

Note that this book contains numerous engravings, none more desirable than the plethora of engraved views of coats-of-arms!
